Discrimination of native-language vowels, including results from behavioral, electrophysiological, and neuroimaging methods applied to infants 0 - 14 months of age.

Search strategy: "A full search on scholar.google.com was conducted in September 2012 with the keyword combination “{infant|infancy} & {vowel|speech sound|syllable} & discrimination.” Additionally, the search terms were translated into French, German, Japanese, and Spanish for additional searches. We also asked experts in the field to inform us of any published or unpublished studies we had missed. Experts were defined as scientists having participated in at least two studies identified in our intermediate search sample or who were part of a lab where such research had taken place, and who were still active in the field or could be otherwise contacted. Further, articles were added based on a screening of articles cited and articles citing the articles in the remaining search sample. The complete sample is available as a public resource (Tsuji & Cristia, in preparation, https://sites.google.com/site/inphondb/). The search sample was then narrowed down to the final search sample of 19 articles." (See paper for additional details)
